Best case scenario -
my fame walking into the future,
all my failed handiworks
recognized as avant garde – well before their time.
Honor and distinction heaped-up posthumously.
An unexceptional life
discovered to have been really ‘sui generis’
uncommonly so.
Applause echoing through the ages.
Most likely outcome –
a contrived eulogy,
slightly embarrassed onlookers
searching for right words.
Shrugs.

Good poetry is the sounds of words created and bringing these words to life
Picturing the sight’s and even smells in your mind by just reading a few words
Good poetry can bring tears and smiles within a few sentences causing emotions
It can be Judged as an N/A and yet read by many and enjoyed by many
Shakespeare was a good poet when he was alive and became a great poet after his death
Through your words you bring thoughts and feelings by others who read it today and yet
Tomorrow is another day and in the future you just might be another Shakespeare
Shakespeare’s poetry has traveled through time and has brought to many
Life through his written words he had no spell check or guidance he wrote from his heart
No contest to enter or instant notability through computers, he only used his pen translating
His thoughts and feelings turning them into these simple words we call, poetry
Never doubt yourself in your thoughts and feelings, they belong to you and no one else’

So many people with so much to say
Seeking notability increases their way
With each other they'll all compete
Top position is what they seek
Wanted to be known as only the best
Strong contenders rise above the rest
Starting gossip so as others to discredit
However when questioned deny they ever said it
This is the life of a dealer of drugs
Often surrounded by a group of thugs
Tryin to take what isn't theirs
Actin out like they don't care
Until one day and the tables are turned
Karma has begun it's what was earned

You have to be willing at what ever you do,
Or you are wasting your time and wasting my time too.
You have to be able to roll with the punches and take some on the chin.
It’s not always about winning but reaching the end.
There are always choices some good and some bad,
And then there are emotions some make us happy some make us sad.
You have to get involved and play whatever the game,
And never forget your friends even if you should receive notability or fame.
A good friend is an asset you can never be without,
Someone you can turn to in those moments of doubt.
A friend is someone who will be there through it all.
They’ll be there to pick you up and dust you off after you’ve taken that fall.
They’re not there to rub it in or tell you I told you so,
Cause after you’ve taken a fall they’ll be the ones hanging on and not letting go.
A friend won’t intentionally desert you or lead you astray,
I just hope you have a good one, that’s about the end of this story I’m posting
today.
